I checked the Tundra's mpg (5.7 liter gasoline) again pulling the '52 Plus 4
on an Aluma flatbed (single axle) this past weekend (CVAR races at Eagles
Canyon).  17.5 mpg on the way up, 14.6 mpg on the way home (5 hours each way),
70 mph most of the way.  Nice tailwind on the way up = bad headwind on the way
home... :-(  Trailer with car is under 2500 lbs.
